<p>In this podcast episode, I mentioned that I&#8217;ve added a category called <a href="http://pursuingabalancedlife.com/category/future-book-content/">Future Book Content</a> as a means of accessing entries that I believe that I may use in the future as the basis for chapters for the book(s) that I hope to write.</p>
<p>I gave a brief introduction as to what the post &#8220;<a href="http://pursuingabalancedlife.com/to-cheat-or-not-to-cheat-that-is-the-question/">To Cheat or Not To Cheat &#8211; That Is The Question!</a>&#8221; is about.  If you have not yet read it, I give my reasoning behind why I&#8217;m opposed to the concept of &#8220;Cheat Days&#8221; for those of us who are trying to incorporate more healthy eating habits into our pursuit of a balanced life.</p>
<p>I also talked briefly about the <a href="http://pursuingabalancedlife.com/a-small-gift-spurs-big-ideas-of-the-future/">PABL STICKERS</a> that are now available by <a href="http://pursuingabalancedlife.com/a-small-gift-spurs-big-ideas-of-the-future/">Clicking Here!</a></p>
<p>The title of this episode comes from the fact that I give an explanation as to what the term paradigm shift actually means.  I had always had a good idea of what the term meant from the context that I&#8217;ve heard it used before.  However, when I read the explanation of this in &#8220;The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,&#8221; I came to understand fully just how precisely this term describes what has taken place in my mind  and how it relates to my pursuit of a balanced life.  Wikipedia describes paradigm shift as &#8220;representing the notion of a major change in a certain thought-pattern — a radical change in personal beliefs, complex systems or organizations, replacing the former way of thinking or organizing with a radically different way of thinking or organizing.&#8221;</p>
<p>I briefly mention that The Pursuing A Balanced Life Podcast had made it as far as 29th place in the &#8220;Self-Help&#8221; category of iTunes.  This is due to the fact that about 23 people have left a 5 star review of this show.  Imagine what would happen if everyone were to <a href="http://gspn.tv/itunespabl">CLICK HERE TO LEAVE A 5 START REVIEW</a>.</p>
<p>I share some feedback that demonstrates how some people view those of us who have struggled and are struggling to change out lifestyle.  I won&#8217;t go into details here in the show notes except to say that if anyone doubts your commitment to the pursuit of a balanced life, don&#8217;t allow them to cause you to doubt yourself.  Keep at it!  This is a journey and some roads have yet to be paved.</p>
<p>I also mention the Theory of Reciprocity which has a lot to do with responding to a positive action with another positive action.  Of course the opposite of this is true.  People will often respond to a negative action with another negative action.  However, keeping this in mind, I&#8217;m always looking for ways that I can give something of value to all those I am called to serve.  I in turn have been blessed as those people have naturally desired to give something of value to me in return.</p>
<p>I also share some audio feed back from <a href="http://twitter.com/bear1">Mary</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/tiwwh">Wayne</a>.</p>
